I don’t use my Riffle account much either but now that they’ve added reviews, I’m thinking of getting back into it. I hope you had a productive, fun bloggiesta too!

I have a Riffle account and I never use it. I had not even thought about it in months. Thanks for the reminder. Congrats on getting things knocked off your list.

Thanks for the recommendations Monika! I don’t know how much I’ll have time to do this month myself, but I’ll definitely look these authors up eventually

I made my list long knowing I would never get to all of it during Bloggiesta and I didn’t, but I did make a good start and I’m hoping the momentum will help me get the other things done over the next few weekends. Welcome to Bloggiesta!

Oh gosh, I wish I weren’t already so swamped for April, I’d love to participate in LGBT month! If you want something on the T side, I highly recommend anything by Jennifer Finney Boylan or Helen Boyd.

Impressive list! This is my first Bloggiesta so my list is a little smaller. I’m loving the mini challenges so far. I’ll have to look up yours next!

If you’re not able to find something to read, I think there will be twitter chats, discussions, etc, so there are other ways to participate in LGBT month as well. I look forward to hearing what you thought about Other Voices, Other Rooms

Thanks Rebecca, I’m glad to be helpful! I’ll be sure to share your book club event in my next one. I’m excited to read a new classic and the non-fiction you’re pairing with it sounds fascinating. Good luck with your bloggiesta goals too!

Great! I don’t if LGBT month will turn into a yearly thing, but I hope so, and I think Bloggiesta is twice a year so that are lots of opportunities to do that

My blog is so very in need of attention! I really hope I’m able to spend some time on it this weekend. I’ve just started tracking statistics about the books I read this year, things like ethnic, gender and sexual diversity of character. I’ve noticed that genders tend to be balanced or skewed towards women without me even trying but I almost never pick up a book with an LGBT character by chance so I’m excited to work on picking them up intentionally in April
